Triple H Puts Rikishi Over by Winning – WWE Smackdown 1/6/2000 Review

The first Smackdown of 2000 also features Triple H’s first title defense of his newly won title, and even though he ends up winning, the match makes Rikishi into a true threat and a fixture of the main event scene. Plus, Chris Jericho and Chyna have trouble getting along while being co-Intercontinental Champions. Stephanie deals out some punishments/challenges to the rest of DX and they’re none-too-happy, plus we get our first taste of the Dudleys/Hardys/Edge & Christian feud. A very eventful Smackdown!
